This one should go all the way to the top.

• The Watchmen
• Six Feet Under (has one season which is a bit underwhelming but it’s worth sticking around for the best show ending ever)

I wrote down Pet Sounds as a majorly influential album and Brian Wilson has said that that cohesion and individual song strength of Rubber Soul was the inspiration that drove him to make it.

So i guess your pick inspired my pick!

This one of funny because when reading about it I hit the feeling that they had no idea or plan to what they were doing. They just wanted to sell albums and get laid.

Then they drop this completely weird af, beautiful and haunting album which everyone of course tries to deconstruct and find the real meaning behind etc.

Just fripp and pals goofing about in the halls of the crimson king.

Forgot to mention:

All of sly and the family stones albums. Larry invented slap bass, they renewed funk, Greg laid the groundwork for what all hip hop artists draw from, sly used a drill machine that was more or less a toy to create really nasty and murky beats by lioping, overlaying and tooting with speeds ented and theyinnovated sludgy lo-fi sound. All in a few years.

• Angel dust by faith no more. It has been cited as a massive influence by many huge 90s metal bands.
• Pet sounds by beach boys. Without it there would be no sgt Pepper (as we know it) and without that it’s hard to say where pop would be today.
• The rise and fall of Ziggy stardust and the spiders from Mars by Bowie. While not being the source of the glam wave (hi t-rex) it really took it to a new level, along with the concept of stage personas.

Jeez you really hit a nerve here, with your pretty sane concept about sharing resources communally.

I guess some people really don’t like the word wasteful or something.

Well yeah it is, but is most likely much harder to solve co-living like that in a way that’s acceptable for almost any people. Whereas what was suggested here is that people pool their resources and lend/rent to each other.

Nothing about forcing anything on anyone, and people who want to be able to have exactly the CPU they need at any given time would probably not be interested.

As someone who’s been using it in my work for the last 2 years, it’s my personal observation that while the models aren’t improving that much anymore, the tooling is getting much much better.

Before I used gpt for certain easy in concept, tedious to write functions. Today I hardly write any code at all. I review it all and have to make sure it’s consistent and stable but holy has my output speed improved.

The larger a project is the worse it gets and I often have to wrap up things myself as it shines when there’s less business logic and more scaffolding and predictable things.

I guess I’ll have to attribute a bunch of the efficiency increase to the fact that I’m more experienced in using these tools. What to use it for and when to give up on it.

For the record I’ve been a software engineer for 15 years

If you have big hands consider a tenor. I had a concert for a long while until I tried a tenor and it get much better for me.

I was in a men’s group once for a few sessions, we talked about everything from anger issues, how to work on improving ourselves, how to handle rough parts of it relationships etc.

It was very nice, we were all very different people with different backgrounds and problems and I believe we all got a lot out of just opening up in a group like this.

This was hosted by the Swedish organisation Man which exists to help men with all the issues modern men are facing, hoping to combat toxic masculinity.

Personally I think a mixed group would’ve worked for me but I am pretty sure some of the people, especially the ones with violent history, felt more secure in a men’s only scenario.
